Did The FBI Give Trump And Hillary Different Counterintelligence Briefings in 2016?
Townhall.com ^ | 10/23/2019 | Matt Vespa

The FBI has had a rough go of it—and it’s entirely their fault. Its former director, James Comey, decided to leak the contents of his meetings to a friend with instructions to turn them over to The New York Times in the hopes of launching a special counsel probe. Mission accomplished. And the Department of Justice’s inspector general raked him over the coals for deviating from a long-standing policy on this front.

Former FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok was one of the key people who signed off on the initial investigation into Trump-Russia collusion supposedly in July of 2016. Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page, with whom he was having an extramarital affair, exchanged tens of thousands of texts—the vast majority of which were anti-Trump. It embarrassed the FBI’s image of integrity and impartiality, especially when it was handling two of the most politically sensitive investigations in recent memory: Russian collusion and Hillary Clinton’s email server. The two were worried that the bureau was going too hard on the former first lady. There’s the discussion of the “insurance policy” that they had with Andrew McCabe, the former deputy director of the bureau who like Comey, was fired for cause. He had lied to investigators about leaking sensitive information to The Wall Street Journal.

Wasn’t this previously reported and confirmed, like right after or prior to the inauguration?

The corrupt, criminal, cowardly Deep State ....all the usual suspect including Obama's DOJ and FBI......
have been running at breakneck speed to "get Trump" and his associates (as candidate and as president).

QUOTING TOM FITTON, JUDICIAL WATCH PRESIDENT:
Obama's State Dept was all hands on deck in terms of targeting Trump.

<><> meetings with Glen Simpson, Steele, Clinton aides, Sid Blumenthal and Clinton associate, Cody Shearer.
<><> Shocker---there was more than one dossier going to the FBI and DOJ.....
<><> there was Christopher Steele's dossier,
<><> and a second dossier created by the State Dept itself, targeting Trump.
<><> shows Jonathan Winer and Glen Simpson were in contact Sept 2016
<><> Winer immediately contacted Victoria Nuland, a top aide at the Obama State Dept.
<><> Post-election, they worked hand in glove with top Dem Steny Hoyer's guy on Russian issues.

===============================

Obama's FBI Was Giving Different Intelligence Briefings to Candidate Trump than to Candidate Clinton
GATEWAY PUNDIT | 6/23/2019 | Jim Hoft / FR Posted by bitt

The Democrats and liberal media insist that Russia wanted Trump to win over Crooked Hillary. The entire premise is ridiculous. The Russians had enough dirt on Hillary to fill the White House. The TRUTH is that the entire DC establishment including the Obama White House, the liberal media and the Obama Deep State wanted Hillary Clinton to win… and they worked tirelessly and illegitimately to make it happen. And still failed. On Sunday former prosecutory and Rep. Trey Gowdy joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures. (video) (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...

================================

AND THIS Dems Colluded with foreign countries to generate propaganda to affect a Presidential Election.
They forced a bogus investigation, and in typical Dem fashion, they accused Trump of doing what they did......

.......there are dozens of memos that make up an actual diary of moment-by-moment events, during the FBI
investigation of Donald Trump (as candidate and as president), documented by Obama's FBI Director Comey......

SOURCE: CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE | 4/9/2019 | SUNDANCE / FR Posted by bitt
A late day submission to DC Circuit Court in a FOIA case reveals the content of previously
unknown James Comey memos
. Obama's entire anti-Trump operation is memorialized in writing:
<><> how Obama’s FBI Director James Comey wrote down the sources and code-names assigned;
<><> how confidential sources engaged with FISA coverage initiated by Obama's FBI;
<><> naming foreign governments assisting Obama and Hillary with their vile efforts;
<><> and the rollout plans for Obama's phony investigation....."by the book."

======================================

During her ill-fated campaign Hillary bragged about “foreign governments” supporting her election.

Are these the same “foreign governments” Comey had assisting their efforts to frame Trump? (smirk)

That would mean Obama, Comey and Hillary were colluding with
foreign governments to meddle in our elections, wouldnt it Donald?

I think the whole point of the Susan Rice email-to-herself-as-she-was-walking-out-the-door was to explain that she lied to the Trump campaign about various security matters (including the fact that the Steele dossier was paid for by Hillary) because Obama told her to withhold such damaging information.

The FBI is rotten to the core.
Disband it and the CIA, too.

The FBI has had a rough go of it ...

This is why I truly believe there is ultimately going to be a major sh!t-storm in D.C. over the 2016 election debacle.

Right now, I would invite a child molester or an arsonist to spend a night in my home before I would spend even 30 seconds speaking to an FBI agent. I'm sure I'm not alone in this, and I'm sure people like President Trump and AG William Barr know damn well that that the legal foundations of this country are going to collapse unless something dramatic is done to fix this.

Did Comey have legal to right to leak? If not, why no prosecution?

If I am ever on any jury where the FBI has provided evidence against the defendant, I will vote to nullify the law and acquit.

The public has the power to force this organization to reform - if it chooses to use it.

All the FBI and the CIA top brass have to undergo a deep deep cleansing. They really outlived their use by dates and smell to high heaven of corruption and mendacity.

I’m with you on that.....bravo!! Just looking at that gnome Christopher Wray and his holding FOIA’s from Judicial Watch which is probably the only HONEST organization in that cesspool makes me sick!! The CIA should have never gone on for as long as it has.......especially now since the leftist subversives have taken over so many government departments in government!

Duh! They told us right after the election they gave different intelligence updates. They were pretty blatant in their opposition to PRESIDENT Trump.

Good grief. During my military career,I had occasion to work with counter-intelligence people,including FBI agents. I found the FBI people I worked with to be worthy of respect. Something has gone way wrong since then with the FBI. Maybe they can no longer recruit the kind of people I worked with. Or maybe the don't try to recruit them.

The FBI is eventually going to pay a price for their active participation in an attempted coup because many average people, like you and I will have zero interest in cooperating with them for any reason. Frankly, my interest in helping anyone from the government, pretty much at any level at all is now pretty minimal. They may get my name out of me, but that's about it. Screw the entire bunch of them.I can honestly say that I have never had a single interaction with a government official that didn't end up with them trying to screw me over in one way or another. Unless I absolutely have to, I want nothing at all to do with them.
